Dry Cleaning Your Luxury Wool and Cashmere Sweaters

At Winzer Cleaners, we often field questions about the care of clothing made from the finest wool, as well as cashmere sweaters. Even our long-time clients have concerns regarding your luxury knitwear, and it is understandable. There is nothing like the soft, downy feel of the choicest fibers, such as cashmere. And it is true, care must be taken when cleaning these pieces so that each piece retains its soft hand, is not stretched, and/or loses its shape during the cleaning process. Since 1908, Winzer Cleaners have been the toast of Broadway, not only maintaining costumes for thousands of shows, but also have earned our stellar reputation by putting you, our esteemed clients, needs first. When you need cashmere dry cleaning services, come to the cleaners who have served your family well for generations- Winzer Cleaners.

Our professionals know that wool dry cleaning is a careful process, and we will not disappoint you. We avoid using the harsh chemicals that standard dry cleaners use to ensure optimal results. During our sweater dry cleaning process, we take the extra steps required to ensure that each garment maintains its shape; that the fibers are not stretched, yet the gentle cleaning is thorough and effective. When you bring us your luxury knits for wool and cashmere dry cleaning (or arrange for a pickup/delivery), our experts will inspect every garment we receive. Note is taken of any pretreatment that may be required, such as careful stain removal, or reweaving in the event that moths have chewed holes. If your garments are embellished, the type, such as glass or plastic beading, sequins, etc. will also dictate the gentle cleaning process used. Additionally, Winzer Cleaners’ experts always check the care instruction label, and will assess even the type of dye used when the yarn was spun to avoid color loss. Winzer Cleaners works hard to earn the trust of each of our customers, and we know that we earn that trust one professionally cleaned garment at a time. 

When you receive your freshly cleaned luxury woolens, you will immediately notice that these are not on hangers. Instead, it is imperative that you always store your wool and cashmere sweaters folded flat on a shelf or inside a drawer. This way the garment will not stretch out of shape, nor will the fibers break, causing holes. As the dry cleaners of choice for generations in Lower Manhattan, Winzer Cleaners wants you to be assured that when you leave your luxury woolens in our care, that we treat these garments, as yourself, like family. We invite you to consult with our experts to learn more or to schedule a pickup at your convenience.
